The Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) is a new top-level project at eclipse.org. Originally proposed by Sybase in February 2005, DTP has attracted strong community support and is currently managed by a committee comprised of Sybase, IBM and Actuate. It is an open source initiative designed to provide solutions in the data framework and tooling domains.

Examples of what the DTP plug-in lets you do from inside Eclipse include:
  •   Connect to a database (or multiple databases)
  •   View database object trees (tables, views, stored procedures, etc.)
  •   Generate data definition language (DDL) from database objects
  •   Execute DDL commands against a database
  •   Execute standard query language (SQL) queries against a database
  •   View query results in table format
